Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead
Pains in my head
Feels like ol ned wished i was dead
What did I do to be so black and blue
No joys for me no company
Even the mouse seems to run from my house
all my life through I been so black and blue
Hey now I'm white way down deep inside
But baby that don't help my case
Honey just because I can't hide what is on my face
Lordy listen to me I so forlorn
My heart is torn
Life is a thorn why was I born
What did I do to be so black and blue
Pains in my head
Feels like ol ned wished i was dead
What did I do to be so black and blue
No joys for me no company
Even the mouse seems to run from my house
all my life through I been so black and blue
Hey now I'm white way down deep inside
But baby that don't help my case
Honey just because I can't hide what is on my face
Lordy listen to me I so forlorn
My heart is torn
Life is a thorn why was I born
What did I do to be so black and blue
